Great Daycare = Happy Mommy

If you've been following my blog for a while, you'll recall about 5 weeks ago that I posted on our move to daycare #3. I wanted to give a quick update to keep everyone out there who cares in the loop but more or less to profess my love for 5 minutes. I really am in heaven with our new daycare and am surprised at how much they 'care' about my little man. It seems as though almost everyone working there knew Drew's name quickly as if it's a requirement to learn kids names even in other classes.
Beach fun this past Saturday morning.
He only cried the first few days that I dropped him off and now he can't say 'bye bye' and wave me out fast enough. He loves all of the teachers so much so that he often even hugs them each before he will leave at the end of the day. You can tell by a child's face what the are feeling so much more than an adult. They don't have good poker faces and can't bluff their way out their thoughts. Thankfully, Drew is all smiles ear to ear about his new school and momma is as well.

From their wonderful cuisine to the stories teachers tell me about Drew to the loving care they are each given daily, I'm so thankful I moved him again. On Saturday, during Drew's nap, I even heard him say 'cool' (school) loudly out of nowhere and thought he was already awake. After a quick peak, I realized he was talking in his sleep and I couldn't be more excited that he was dreaming about school. It really is a working mothers dream to find a place this good with wonderful people who have been there 10-20 years. He is learning so much and I'm so glad that my favorite little man is safe and loved while I'm working. There's nothing better than picking him up at the end of the day and he's full of smiles!

  1. I'm so happy for you and Drew and I couldn't agree more.

    Even though we are moving farther away from Taylor's daycare in two weeks, we are keeping her there. She thrives at that daycare and the teachers just love her. She's always excited to go and has a smile every time we pick her up. It's totally worth the longer commute if you ask me~~

  3. Amen amen amen! from an "old" mom...yours! I can still feel the worry and concern I had dropping you off at any new sitter or day care..especially through the youngest ages but even a little older when you expressed 'complaints', and I had to determine if they were valid. argh. So VERY glad this place is loving and developmentally involved/encouraging!!

  4. I can just hear the relief in your writing!! I thought the same thing about our daycare, everyone knows Chloe by name and knows that JJ and I are her parents, no matter what room they are in. It's a really nice tough. I love that he was dreaming about school too, so adorable.

  5. So nice to hear! It makes it SO much easier to leave your kids with someone else when they are comfortable and happy with those people.
